CrudeRemarks wrote on Thu, 17 October 2019 11:20 | One other note, JJ and Sheahan line started the game against Philly's #1 line. Surprised me but they held their own. That line spent a lot of time down low in the other team's zone. Shame none of them can score but they're doing the rest of their job well.

I've liked Sheahan. Khaira does done alright in some areas but in my opinion is a blackhole offensively.
|
He's keeping pace with half the forwards though.

I agree. I think there is goals from these guys, I am just not sure there is the right combination both in guys playing and lines. IN my opinion, Tippett really wants to have a very strong defensively bottom 6 that is strong on the PK. If you look at bottom 6 lines, for the most part, you can throw them out against most lines and they will do fine defensively. That's great and all but it stunts some offense. I think the Khaira- Sheahan pairing is working very well defensively but Khaira is such a blackhole offensively, it's stunting any offense for Sheahan. I have thought that Sheahan has been generating some chances but there isn't much help. I wonder if there will come a time when someone more offensive is put on the 3rd line with Sheahan and then you create a 4th line that is 100% defensive and full of PK guys.

Oilers had 52 shots against last night. Koskinen was amazing and McDavid and Draisaitl steal games. But I'm not sure the team has actually been that good defensively. They have a pretty favourable schedule to start the season, but they'll have to get that sorted out against better teams.
The PK has been good, but there needs to be more than that 5x5 from the bottom six than what we've seen. I'm also not convinced you need to carry as many PKers in the lineup as the Oilers are right now.
|
Not to mention, as Goose pointed out, the PK hasn't actually been that good. The goalies have just been stopping a very high percentage of shots. It's possible I guess that that's all system driven, but the numbers don't really support that. Teams are getting lots of good looks, but aren't scoring. So if the numbers regress to the mean, then the Oilers PK is going to start costing them a lot more goals.
They got dinged for a couple last night. Hopefully that wasn't the start of the bubble bursting...
I'm about ready to recall Gagner...
